I have lost just over a stone...so lots of looser fitting clothes which look better.
Bit disappointed the weight loss isn't quicker, but heaps of other things going on, so dieting hasn't been the priority I thought it would be when I started. Hey ho.

In two weeks it is Easter holidays, so three weeks of daytime gym classes to get back into the habit and then longer days to keep it up in the evenings.

So instead of being where I want to be by Easter, it'll probably be nearer May half term. But still on track.

Long walk out in the countryside tomorrow and park and walk in to town later today.

So overall, not brilliant, but going in the right direction and optimism about the next couple of months.

Still faffing around with the same couple of pounds so haven’t really lost that much so far this year. I’m not too disappointed with myself because I’ve lost nearly 3 stones, gone down 2 sizes in clothes and bra cups! If I wasn’t still going to SW I’d have probably gained 10lbs. It is definitely easier to stick with it when the day time is longer. I need to re-focus and not cheat! Keep going, folks!

I lost over a stone between summer and Christmas last year. Recently a few pounds crept back on. I've been better for the last couple of weeks. Realise that buying chocolate is a bad mistake! Hoping I can stay motivated too!

One of the soloists at my concert (St John Passion - smashed it!!!!) has lost over half of his body weight. We speculated it might have been with the help of a gastric band. I'd guess he's 11st now and could easily have been 23st before and had been big since he was a boy. He's 30 ish now. Some people thought he looked too thin but I didn't.

I've just rejoined WW. Maybe because I'm so inactive now, it's been piling on at a pound a week. I need to shed 17lbs to get back into my summer clothes.
I'm finding it incredibly difficult. I'm hungry all the time.

Well I am almost back to full fitness although I have not tried running yet. 4 weeks since the surgery and I have put on about 8 lbs. I need to be out and running so that I can feel fitter and start losing the weight I have put on. Thanks for those who sent best wishes earlier.

That's great news Tartuffe... the better weather, albeit brief, will help physically and mentally .

No running here either despite good intentions but left work at a decent time (feel so over worked at the moment and need to make time for myself) and i plan on having a cuppa and then walking to the gym via the beach!

caterpillartobutterfly, you're doing brilliantly! 3.5lbs in a week is amazing! The staff room table was groaning with chocs and Easter treats all last week - I had good days and bad days there. I'm just on the very top of my SW target weight (you're allowed 3lb over). It's so easy to slip. I'd like to be 3lb under !!! That feels so far away - but I need to work to get there before going on holiday in July. However much I plan for 'this year to be different', I seem to leave all my good intentions indoors when I lock the front door and set off to the airport!

Our staffroom table was similar @sunshineneeded
I can resist sweets, cakes and biscuits with ease. Chocolate eggs are another thing entirely.
And now it's the holidays and I have great intentions of Pilates and Body Pump tomorrow.
And of not eating cake every time I meet a friend for coffee.
We'll see.

6lbs by July should be manageable. 1/2lb a week seems possible.
Maybe.
Some weeks anyway.

I’ve had family visiting this week and I’ve eaten and drunk way, way too much. I need to get back on to it now even though I don’t really want to. Really don’t want to go for weigh in but I will go, and face up to the fact that I’ve seriously overindulged! 6lbs by July sounds good to me, too, so here goes. Extra long dog walks next week! Good luck everyone.
